dolphin needs opengl 2.1, your gfx card only supports 2.0

honestly u would need to do a complete rebuild if u wanted to play dolphin

it takes a very powerful dual core processor to get games to run at playable speeds and opengl 2.1 to render gfx correctly

no but you were basicly telling him his cpu is crap, which it is... kinda. however his graphics card does need an upgrade
